Stellantis CEO Reflects on Chrysler's Interior Quality Issues

In a recent statement, Stellantis CEO Ralph Gilles openly addressed the quality issues of Chrysler interiors prior to the company's bankruptcy. He described these interiors as feeling 'water-pistol grade', highlighting a significant gap in quality.

Gilles did not shy away from critiquing the past, suggesting that the design and materials used in those days were subpar. His comments reflect a commitment to transparency about the brand's history.

Interestingly, he credited an Audi model for inspiring improvements in Chrysler's interior quality. This acknowledgment points to a shift in design philosophy aimed at enhancing customer satisfaction.
